It seems it’s now automatic in CIS 4, and that Comodo detects when a user is installing something and assumes it’s trusted (as opposed to something being installed by a hacker or something that’s illegally gained access to the system) and the installation went smoothly without Comodo asking me any questions at all. I was installing something yesterday though and looking for the “switch to installation mode” option which appears on earlier versions, but it’s no longer there. Going back to CIS 4, I’ve not had any major problems with that either so far (apart from the “sandbox” thing I mentioned earlier which I’ve now managed to solve, although I did have to go searching through the menus as I could find nothing obvious in the help screens about how to allow programs that Comodo has put inside it.) Since I installed SP3, I’ve no problems with it so far and I can see no obvious difference in its performance or the appearance of Windows from SP2, so I guess it’s all “under the hood.” Thanks a lot for the info guys and I’ll check all that out. I’ll be a guinea pig then and let you guys know what (if any) further problems I might get.Īs far as Microsoft not supporting SP2 any more, it only happened about 3 weeks ago as far as I know, so I just thought I’d mention it for the benefit of anyone reading this thread who’s not aware. However, after a few teething problems (such as it kept putting trusted programs inside something called a “sandbox” and kept disconnecting me from the internet) it all seems to be working ok so far. Yikes! :o Thanks for the info, but I’ve now already installed CIS 4 and idiotically didn’t keep a copy of CIS 3. Now, speaking of CIS4, it doesn’t work more or less with sp2/sp3 then with anything else: it plainly does not work at all, and you should either wait (and see…) for CIS 5, either and again have saved a local CIS 3 copy. If you have a sp2 cd, and do not want to get in trouble (even if limited with a dsl/cable connexion), you should definitely have an offline copy of this large download or, better, make your own cd according to this “new” standard. that Windows does not support sp2 anymore, and it’s not Windows fault, everyone has been warned since a long time.
